Definitions
- the invention relates to a tool as presented in the preamble of the independent claim directed thereto for the treatment of a concrete floor surface, such as for power trowel floating and finishing with blades, by conducting the work with e.g. ahand-operated,walk-behind or ride-on actuator.
- a common practice in the foregoing purpose is to employ a concrete power trowel of e.g. the walk-behind type shown in fig. 1a or the ride-on type shown in fig. 1b, or a floor treating machine, i.e.a so-called cleaning machine, of the type shown in fig. 1c.
- the operating head, i.e. a so-called rotor, of such an actuator consists typically of four attachment arms perpendicular to each other and fitted with concrete trowel elements used each time in the power trowel floating of e.g. a concrete floor.
- the employed concrete trowel elements connectable to the rotor of an actuator conventionally comprise a one-piece circular trowel pan or trowel blades fastened to its attachment arms.
- the US patent 7,775,741 discloses a method and apparatus for surface finishing cured concrete with a concrete power trowel by using diamond pads, whereby the diamond pads, included e.g. in individual attachment seats of circular cross-section, are adapted to be adjusted in a spring-loaded manner to a tilted position matching the concrete surface to be abraded.
- the attachment seats are fixedly fastened by welding to the bottom of apower trowel' s trowel pan or to rigid metal strips welded thereto.
- the spring loading arrangements enabling a tiling motion of diamond pads in the attachment seats comprise three plungers, which are capable of being fitted by screw adjustment inside the attachment seat and whose points, pressing against a metal plate glued to the bottom of the diamond pad, will be able to depress in a spring-loaded manner into the plunger so as to enable tilting of the diamond pad.
- a drawback with the spring loading arrangement used in the aforementioned solution is that the attachment seats are complicated in construction, laborious to assemble, and inconvenient in terms of installation and maintenance.
- the diamond pads When coupled to a trowel pan by using attachment seats, the diamond pads will be placed at quite a distance from the trowel pan, thereby increasing the risk of breakage for diamond pads.
- the diamond pads are not able in prolonged service to remain consistently in parallel re- lationship with the presently abraded floor surface, which necessitates repair or replacement of the plungers so as not to allow uneven wear of the diamond pads.
- An objective of the present working tool, developed for the treatment of a concrete floor, is to provide a decisive improvement over the above-described problems and to thereby raise essentially the available prior art.
- the working tool according to the invention is principally characterized by what is presented in the characterizing clause of the independent claim directed thereto,
- a tool of the invention should noted to include the simplicity and ef- fectiveness of its construction and assembly,as well as its use, first by virtue of the tool being installable to and removable from a trowel blade without utensils, which enables a rapid replacement of just the trowel pans that are susceptible to wearing. This enables highly effective continuous operation without detrimental disruptions caused by a replacement of the working tool; e.g. "finishing with blades" has a certain time frame during which the concrete floor must be treated.
- One benefit offered by a working tool of the invention is also the possibility of being used with equal effectiveness in connection with both a new and old trowel floating blade.
- any sufficiently stiffmaterial such as various types of plastic, a metal, i.e. e.g. stainless steel or aluminum, carbon fiber, wood, ceramic, composite, or the like.
- the manufacturing material produced e.g. by processing be modified as nec- essary by incorporating therein e.g. glass, fiber glass or carbon fiber synthetic diamond, etc. for improving wear resistance.
- the working tool's shape can be also be readily varied so as to achieve optimal smoothness for a concrete floor finished with blades.
- the working toolbe also provided with elements used for abrading a concrete floor, such as e.g. with a diamond abrading arrangement which comprises one or more diamond discs attachable to the working tool in a removable manner,preferably in a quick coupling principle such as with a Velcro surface arrangement or the like.
- elements used for abrading a concrete floor such as e.g. with a diamond abrading arrangement which comprises one or more diamond discs attachable to the working tool in a removable manner,preferably in a quick coupling principle such as with a Velcro surface arrangement or the like.
- the elements for engaging the working tool with the trowel floating blade is provided preferably in a quick coupling principle by using guide channels, which are included in a substantially flat and elongated body of the working tool on opposite sides thereof,and inside which the opposite side edges of the trowel floating blade are cable of being slid in a longitudinal direction of the working tool and the trowel floating blade, and which further make it possible that the resilience system that enables tilting motions of the working tool be positioned between the trowel floating blade and the working tool.
- the resilience system comprises e.g. one or more springs or a washer fabricated from an elastic material, e.g. "washing pad" material.
- FIGS. 2a and 2b show perspective top views of the relative movement between a tool of the invention and a trowel floating blade in the process of coupling the same to each other and with the tool in engagement with the trowel floating blade
- figs. 3a - 3c show, in a bottom assembly view, in a top view, and in a bottom view,one preferred embodiment for a tool of the invention together with an integral diamond abrading arrangement engageable/engaged therewith in a removable manner, figs.
